Sun, Sea and Shade Critters
Hula skirts for Hawaii or seashell prints for the Maldives? Whether you’re jetting off to tropical shores or creating mermaid lagoons in the paddling pool, you can guarantee that Shade Critters has swimwear and cover-ups for every play-filled agenda. With the kids’ priorities well and truly covered, next on the Palm Beach-based designer’s checklist is the all-important sun protection and comfort factor.

Shade Critters sure knows how to make playing in the sun safe and fun for everyone.
Carmen Sol
Why you’ll love it: Summer is in the air, and with Italian designer Carmen Sol, the sweet smell of roses is too.
Good for the Sol
There are so many reasons we love this Italian designer. For instance, all of Carmen Sol’s styles are 100% recyclable and made from materials that are kind to people and the planet. So not only is its mini-me collection of jelly shoes and wipe-clean bags perfect for island hopping, they care for you and your ocean friends too. Oh, and not to mention they’ll add a summery scent to little ones’ suitcases! All designs have a unique rose perfume, making every little footstep even sweeter than the last.
Meia Pata
Why you’ll love it: From Portugal with love, there’s something ever-so charming about Meia Pata’s traditional swimwear and towelling robes.
To the Pool with Meia Pata
What could be sweeter than swimwear covered in all of their favourite fruits? Meia Pata goes one step further, making sure there’s a matching holiday outfit for siblings and friends too. The Portuguese designer’s layering of stripes, gingham checks and pretty prints gives an effortlessly traditional aesthetic for families looking for timeless yet modern kids’ beach clothing. And when it’s time to dry off, these softer-than-soft towelling robes will make little ones feel like they’re wrapped in one big cloud!
